Dear Families,
We've had another run of success here at Loyola. While we were in the midst of another snowstorm to start our week, our Robotics team competed at the National Competition and had a great week finishing 15
th
nationally. Thanks to Coach Amanda Stahl for leading this group this year. It was quite a fun run to follow! Well done coach and team.
We have eight students competing this weekend at the State Science Fair! Next week, we have a team heading off to the Knowledge Bowl State Tournament. Our Speech Team finished second in the sub-section tournament and now heads to section competition. Well done to all of our participants and coaches in those activities!
We were pretty busy over spring break when it comes to our facilities. We had an L-section of flooring replaced in our cafeteria. It looks great and will provide a much better surface for cleaning and moving tables and chairs around.
Our main hallway as you head down the administrative wing just up to the Chapel and Sohler Commons was painted. If you notice, it will look very similar to the hallway on the second floor. It looks amazing! A big thank you to Tim Murray for heading up that project. Great work!
On Sunday, April 15
th
we will be hosting a meeting on "The Hill" regarding our volunteering here at Loyola. We have our Board of Trustees, our committees and sub-committees in regards to Academics and Activities, Finance, Advancement, and Facilities. In addition, we have our Home and School Association. We have a number of other volunteer opportunities. This meeting will look at how we can brainstorm to support our school through volunteerism and provide more support for our volunteer teams. Please read below for more information.
Have a wonderful weekend!

VOLUNTEERS WANTED- JOIN US FOR AN INFORMATIONAL MEETING
The local Catholic United Financial Council is disbanding, and we have been given the opportunity to start a Catholic United Volunteer Team here at Loyola in its place.
Catholic United Financial, and the local council have a long history of supporting Loyola Catholic School. Over the past 30+ years they have generated thru their programs, grants, and gifts over
$450,000 that has directly benefited Loyola. Our students have also benefited by receiving over
$32,000 in post-high school scholarships.
To continue to receive many of these financial benefits, I am asking you as a parent to consider being involved. Our goal is to combine our current Home and School group with a Catholic United Financial Volunteer Team.
An informational meeting will be held on Sunday, April 15 at 4:00 PM at Loyola to discuss this opportunity.
SCRIP UPDATE
Scrip Users - LOCAL ORDERS ARE BACK! We have some new volunteers who have offered to help pick-up the local orders. We will be adding those stores (Culver's, Taco John's, Pub 500, Liv Aveda) back into the system. You will see the order option for those stores immediately. We still have a few Casey's $50 cards available, but after the next order on
April 15th
, we will only have Casey's $25 cards available for order. This will be a permanent change. Once again, thank you for your support of the Scrip volunteers!
